Easter Part 2

1.Where is easter found in the bible?

“So you, [Yirmeyahu,] don’t pray for this people! Don’t cry, pray or intercede on their behalf with me; because I won’t listen to you. ¹⁷ Don’t you see what they are doing in the cities of Y’hudah and in the streets of Yerushalayim? ¹⁸ The children gather the wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and, just to provoke me, they pour out drink offerings to other gods! ¹⁹ Are they really provoking me,” asks Adonai, “or are they provoking themselves, to their own ruin?”

²⁰ Therefore, here is what Adonai Elohim says: “My anger and fury will be poured out on this place, on men, animals, trees in the fields and produce growing from the ground; and it will burn without being quenched.”

²¹ Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Isra’el: “You may as well eat the meat of your burnt offerings along with that of your sacrifices. ²² For I didn’t speak to your ancestors or give them orders concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. ²³ Rather, what I did order them was this: ‘Pay attention to what I say. Then I will be your God, and you will be my people. In everything, live according to the way that I order you, so that things will go well for you.’ ²⁴ But they neither listened nor paid attention, but lived according to their own plans, in the stubbornness of their evil hearts, thus going backward and not forward. ²⁵ You have done this from the day your ancestors came out of Egypt until today. Even though I sent you all my servants the prophets, sending them time after time, ²⁶ they would not listen or pay attention to me, but stiffened their necks; they did worse than their ancestors. – Jeremiah 7:16-26

2.Did the believer ever practice easter?

NO! Throughout the bible there is no evidence, nor is there any evidence of the early believers ever celebrating it. They always kept the true sabbath (Fri night to Sat night), were Jew and gentile with Jewish customs, and even went to synagogue. It wasn’t till much later Paganism started infiltrating the community and ruining the TRUTH. Easter which comes from the word Eastre is a Pagan festival in honour of Tammuz and Isthar the Pagan Queen. Yet for some reason the true believers have been outnumbered by Pagan Christianity and even by born again church’s that have taken this feast on in vein to God thinking it’s to do with Jesus’ death, all because they conform to world views and copy practices of the Roman Church.

3.Is Easter a Christian Holiday?

From this conclusion NO! it is nothing more that a Pagan feast turned into a Christianised feast in Vein. God is clear we are to worship him in TRUTH and SPIRIT. not sugar coated truths.

So you decide, Follow the WORD or follow TRADITION. That is up to you

SHALOM! In Yeshua our graceful King
